    Scott Fisher Miami didn't beat Louisville in that bowl game Golden never won a bowl game at Miami he also went 0-5 against FSU on top of that he didn't know how to recruit in an interview he said that he has never seen so many 5 star prospects in one area of the country the man didn't know how to recruit. South FL is a hotbed for football talent guys like Amari Cooper, Ermon Lane and Devonte Freeman just to name a few wanted to play for Miami but Golden turned them down when Brad Kaaya came in he started him to save his own ass Ryan Williams was supposed to be the starter that year b4 he got hurt he eventually recovered in time for the season opener Jake Heaps transferred to Miami thinking he was going to start but he wasn't good enough he had transferred twice already Golden couldn't even fire the best man at his wedding who was his DC
    Mark D'Onfrio Clemson did us a favor and exposing how much of a moron he was as a HC

      The Golden era were the worst years Of being a Miami Hurricane fan. Going 0-5 against FSU was so heartbreaking and he sucked at Recruiting those recruits did the right things and played for there schools FSU and Alabama and succeeded.
      I just Hope Now history doesn’t Repeat itself. Manny better Fire Baker don’t make the same mistakes Golden did Fire baker and get a new Defensive coordinator! Your winning in Recruiting and you have established a good offensive system with Rhett Lashlee but Fire BAKER 🔥!!

      @@dmpproductions.5328 I don't know yet how to evaluate Diaz as a game day coach, but I will say, when something/someone doesn't work he wastes no time in changing it. Enos gone after 1 year. D'Onofrio was clueless and was never told to hit the road. Diaz is recruiting Miami kids and adding key personal to his staff. That is something Golden Al never did.

      @MrCaneZach 4 роки тому

      I was going to say the same thing. Golden's inability to move on from D'Onofrio (yeah, I realize he's Golden's brother in law) was really his downfall. The 3-4, passive, LBs 15 yards deep, DBs 20+ yards deep scheme just wasn't suited to the talent in the defensive side of the ball. The offense was never a high powered offense, but they usually did well enough to keep them in the game. The defense just played too passive to hold the lead or get a crucial stop. After Golden was fired and Richt took over, those same defensive players started becoming a much better unit because the scheme changed to a more attacking, aggressive style.

    This a pretty poorly researched piece. You're citing annual W-L records and stats but make no reference to what drove the W-L record and the stats - it was Mark D'Onofrio's bend but don't break defense that was Miami's Achilles heel. Al Golden refused to fire D'Onofrio. That cost Golden his job.
